Based on 261,486 ranked players seen over the last 30 days, captured 2026-09-28. This is the distribution of tracked ranked players, not of everyone who plays Deadlock, so treat the percentiles as close approximations rather than exact figures.

Deadlock's ranked ladder is made up of 11 ranks, climbing from Initiate at the bottom to Eternus at the very top. Every rank is divided into six subranks (I through VI) — fill the sixth subrank and you promote into the next rank. Your rank badge is calculated from your performance in ranked matches and updates as the system recalibrates your skill. Players who haven't yet established a rank display the Obscurus badge. Climbing efficiently comes down to the fundamentals the stats reward: strong lane farm, objective damage, and picking heroes that fit the current meta — check our hero tier list and win-rate tables to see what's strongest right now.
